System and method for on site aerial dissemination and atmospheric disposal of all leachates and wastewaters

## Abstract

A method and system for on-site aerial dissemination of oxidatively converted particles with substantial atmospheric disposal of the water component of all regulated and defined leachates and regulated and defined wastewaters. These leachates and wastewaters (defined as water containing 2 or more detectable regulated, defined and known contaminants) may include collecting the leachate or wastewater, having multiple contaminating suspended and perhaps precipitated solids therein, and aerially disseminating and disposing of said leachate or wastewater on the site of its generation. The defined leachate or wastewater is directed to an “Integrated Mobile Aerosolization System (IMAS)” having a turbine and being fully integrated and mobile. Thereafter, the mixture is directed from the IMAS and the contaminants aerially disseminated and disposed of over a defined and designated area on the site where the defined leachate or wastewater is created.

## Background
The present application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/519,163 filed Oct. 21, 2014 and claims priority to provisional U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 61/895,142 filed on Oct. 24, 2013. These applications are incorporated in its entirety by reference herein.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to unfiltered or pre-conditioned or unprepared onsite systems and processes for aerially disseminating and atmospherically disposing of the water component of all leachates from sites regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) or commonly known as landfills and all other regulated and defined multi-contaminant containing wastewaters. The present invention also relates to systems and processes for aerial dissemination and atmospherically disposing of the water component of all other unprepared, or unfiltered or pre-conditioned aqueous solutions such as all defined wastewaters through a process where the defined aqueous solution is Atmospherically Converted (AC) or aerosolized as defined and known in the academic medical disciplines and with regard to military applications.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulated or commonly defined landfill leachates are the percolation and runoff or multi-contaminate containing discharge that occurs from and within RCRA regulated sites or landfills. This defined leachate is highly contaminated and typically includes large amounts of dissolved and undissolved organic matter, inorganic matter, heavy metals and a host of other known and unknown but regulated contaminants. This defined leachate or all other defined wastewaters are generally extremely regulated by federal, state and local governments and their constituent environmental agencies and citizen legal groups. These institutions have declared RCRA regulated sites or landfill leachate, and all other defined wastewaters, to be a threat to local rivers, streams and soils, as well as municipal water supplies and ground water located in the general vicinity of RCRA regulated sites or landfills or all other regulated and defined wastewater generating sites.
Offsite transportation, management, treatment and disposal of RCRA regulated site or landfill leachate and all other declared or defined wastewaters are expensive and inefficient. Typically RCRA regulated and defined leachates and all other defined wastewaters are collected and may be transported off-site to a treatment facility or regulated under NPDES permits or Land Application (LA) permits. RCRA regulated leachates and all other defined wastewaters are typically collected in lined or unlined ponds or tanks and may be transferred to trucks that transport the defined leachate and all other defined wastewaters to prepared defined leachate or wastewater treatment plants or simply discharged into the environment under regulated or permitted conditions. It is the management, permitting, collection, transportation and treatment that make the process extremely expensive. It is not unusual for a typical sized RCRA regulated site or landfill, or all other regulated and defined wastewater producing site, to spend approximately $1 million dealing with the defined leachate or all other defined wastewaters either on or off site, annually.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a process for onsite and mobile aerosolization of RCRA defined unfiltered, unprepared or unconditioned leachates and all other similarly defined and generalized wastewaters. In one embodiment of the present invention, RCRA regulated and defined yet unpretreated leachates are directed to a mobile, self-contained and independent, high output air/water system that includes an adjustable turbine and a set of adjustable and interchangeable nozzles. The turbine can be powered either by electricity, diesel, gas, natural gas or other client described source and is driven and is directly integrated with the turbine, creating a system of air and defined leachates and all other defined wastewaters which flows in front of a strong wind stream created by the turbine. The motor, turbine and an integrated pump are all combined to create a unified, complete and mobile defined leachate and all other defined wastewater system that is capable of aerially disseminating, and atmospherically disposing of raw and defined leachates, or other similarly described raw wastewaters, on the site where they were generated. The defined leachates, or all other defined wastewaters, are pumped unfiltered or unconditioned or unprepared but under some pressure past the nozzles and the nozzles initiate a liquid particle dispersion (LPD) process of the raw leachate or wastewater into the path of the turbine system's high output air flow. This Liquid Particle Conversion (LPC) process, well known in the medical and military applications commonly known as aerosolization, forms a mobile and controllable mixture of air-raw leachate or air-raw wastewater that can be aerially disseminated and atmospherically dispose of the water component of the leachate or wastewater on the site where the defined leachate or all other defined wastewaters were generated. The “integrated and mobile aerosolization system (IMAS)” propels the multi-contaminant containing suspended and perhaps precipitated solids mixture of air-raw leachate or air-raw wastewater over the regulated and defined lined or unlined RCRA defined site or landfill, aerially disseminate suspended and precipitated solids over a designated and defined or permitted collection area. Much of either mixture is defined by containing clumped contaminants and a larger portion can be defined as atmospheric discharge as water vapor post inventive process and method. However, the air-raw leachate mixture or air-raw wastewater mixture includes suspended or precipitated contaminant solids and other elements or compounds of concern that Oxidatively Diffuse (OD) or Oxidatively Convert (OC) or aerosolize into a “Stage 1 Aerosol” during this process. Typically, in the case of a RCRA regulated site or landfill or other generally defined wastewater aerosolization application, for example, the multitude of contaminating suspended and perhaps precipitated solids, elements or compounds, which Oxidatively Diffuse (OD) these clumped particles onto the RCRA regulated site or landfill surface, lined or unlined designated or defined or permitted area may additionally promote the growth of vegetation.
In another particular embodiment, all defined wastewaters inherently contained in an unlined or lined contaminant containment area or lagoon is pumped or directed to the “IMAS.” The defined wastewater is pumped under some pressure into the IMAS and finally through the nozzles for onsite aerial dissemination, atmospheric conversion and finally water vapor atmospheric disposal as described above. The nozzles emit an aerial dissemination or atmospheric conversion or aerosol that is clumped, mixed and accelerated with the IMAS's airflow, which forms an air-raw wastewater mixture. The IMAS is mobile and thus very intentionally positioned and directed to propel the mixture of air-raw wastewater over the defined unlined or lined catch basin, lagoon, for example, where a substantial portion of the contaminants found in the suspended or precipitated solids in the defined wastewater is aerially disseminated into a regulated and defined or permitted area and the water component of the defined leachate or all other wastewater is released as water vapor into the atmosphere while solids, elements and all compounds of concern contained in the wastewater Oxidatively Diffuse (OD) into the unlined or lined catch basin, lagoon or other regulated or defined or permitted areas.
The aerial dissemination and atmospherically disposed water component is such that a substantial portion of the regulated and defined leachate or wastewater becomes a “Stage 1 Aerosol” and the contaminating suspended or perhaps precipitated solids, elements or compounds of concern contained in the regulated and defined leachate or wastewater further clump and fall onto a designated or a specific area such as an unlined or lined catch basin, lagoon or designated and permitted. A “fine mist” or “vaporization” or “water evaporation” is not created through this invention and the distance between the droplets is decreased and does not require ambient atmospheric conditions. Aerial dissemination and water component atmospheric disposal or commonly known aerosolization is the opposite of any mechanical atomization process but rather a medical term as understood by international military testing and applications and their associated medical academic and practical applications and deals with aerial chemical and biological dissemination into a known and defined area. Aerosolized particles would measure in the hundreds and thousands of microns in the regulated and permitted solids collection areas. The medical and military common term of aerosolization is intentionally chosen to describe this invention of untreated or filtered or conditioned on site wastewater aerial dissemination and considerable water component atmospheric disposal as a “Stage 1 Aerosol.”
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent and obvious from a study of the following description and the accompanying drawings, which are merely illustrative of such invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
With further reference to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a system for aerially disseminating and atmospherically disposing the water component of all types of regulated and defined wastewater and is indicated generally by the numeral 10. As will become apparent from the present disclosure, system 10 is used for aerially disseminating and atmospherically disposing of the water component as vapor of all defined and regulated wastewaters such as leachate, lagoon liquid waste, “frac flowback”, or all other types of regulated and defined multi-component wastewaters, etc. Turning specifically to FIG. 1, the system 10 is shown therein includes an IMAS indicated generally by the numeral 12. IMAS 12 includes a conduit 14 that is configured to channel or direct air through the same. A relatively large turbine 16 is contained in the conduit 14 and can be mounted on a shaft and forms a part of the IMAS 12. As will be appreciated from subsequent portions of the disclosure, turbine 16 is driven such that it generates a system of air that moves through the conduit, from an inlet end to and through an outlet end. IMAS 12 also includes a regulated and defined and custom designed wastewater injection system for aerosolizing all regulated and defined wastewaters and injecting the aerosolized wastewater into the system of air passing through the conduit 14. This IMAS contains a series of adjustable and replaceable nozzles 18 that are secured and circumferentially spaced around a ring pipe or manifold 20. As will be appreciated from subsequent portions of the disclosure, defined wastewater being aerially disseminated or Oxidatively Diffused (OD) or aerosolized by the IMAS 12 is directed under some pressure into the manifold 20 and from the manifold the defined wastewater is aerosolized outwardly from the series of nozzles 18. As seen in FIG. 2, the nozzles are oriented about an outlet end portion of the conduit 14. Further, the nozzles 18 are directed inwardly such that the Atmospheric Discharge (AD) or aerosolized wastewater is directed inwardly towards the center of the conduit 14. As discussed later herein, the Aerial Particle Converted (APC) or aerosolized defined wastewater mixes with the system of air passing through the conduit to form an air-defined wastewater mixture also known as Oxidative Diffusion (OD). In one embodiment, as discussed below, the defined wastewater is a RCRA regulated and defined leachate multi-component solution that is produced by a commonly known landfill which maybe lined or unlined. This defined leachate containing a multi-component contaminant suspended and perhaps precipitated solid solution is aerosolized or Aerially Disseminated (AD) by the nozzles 18 and injected into the stream of air passing through the conduit and Oxidatively Diffusing (OD) or clumping the defined and regulated contaminating suspended and precipitated contaminating solids 14.
To provide power to the IMAS 12 and particularly to drive the turbine 16, there is provided an integrated power source 22. Various types and forms of power sources can be utilized. In one embodiment the power source is a diesel or gasoline or natural gas powered internal combustion engine that is operatively connected to a drive shaft that drives the turbine 16. In another embodiment, the power source can be comprised of an electric motor operatively connected to the drive shaft of the turbine 16 and wherein an integrated and conventional generator powers the electric motor or other regulated site specified form.
Also forming a part of the system 10 is one or more integrated pumps 24. The function of the one or more pumps 24 is to pump the regulated and defined wastewater under some pressure into the manifold 20 and out the respective nozzles 18. In addition, the system 10 will include, in some embodiments, a tank or storage vessel for holding the regulated and defined wastewater to be Aerially Disseminated (AD) wastewater to include Oxidative Diffusion (OD) or commonly known as aerosolization. The holding tank is shown in FIG. 1 and referred to by the numeral 26.
FIG. 1 shows the conduit 14, as well as the circumferentially spaced nozzles 18, disposed around the outlet end of the conduit 14. As discussed above, air plus raw defined wastewater is injected into the air stream forms an air-raw wastewater mixture. The air functions at least partially as a carrier and partially as the Oxidative Diffusion (OD) method for the aerially disseminated or aerosolized raw wastewater. In addition, because of the velocity and energy associated with the moving stream of air that is being propelled from the outlet end of the conduit end 14, the system of air facilitates the further Liquid Particle Conversion (LPC) or Oxidative Particle Release (OPR) or commonly known as aerosolization of the wastewater. The IMAS 12 can be designed to propel the air-raw wastewater mixture a substantial distance from the outlet end of the IMAS, but it is not necessary. Typically, but not always, the IMAS 12 is mounted on a mobile platform such that it can be moved from point to point. Further, the conduit 14 is typically adjustably mounted on the platform. Around the platform and also can be rotated up and down such that the conduit can effectively direct a stream of air including the aerially disseminated or aerosolized wastewater a substantial distance from the outlet end of the conduit 14. In some embodiments, the power imparted to the turbine 16 is operative to direct the air-raw wastewater mixture as much as 200 meters. Thus, with the numerous adjustment features associated with the conduit 14, the conduit can be aimed and directed in an infinite number of directions.
Various types of IMAS's can be utilized to aerially disseminate and atmospherically dispose of the water component of all regulated and defined wastewaters or defined leachates on the site where they were generated. For example, some forms of snow blowing, dust suppression or odor suppression machines can be utilized to aerially disseminate or aerosolize the regulated and defined wastewater or leachate. In the way of an example, one is referred to the dust suppression machine shown in WO2011/119229, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
The regulated and defined wastewater or leachate solution typically includes many contaminating suspended solids and in some cases precipitated solids. That is, the regulated and defined wastewater or leachate solution may include dissolved solids that through possible chemical processes prior to reaching the IMAS 12 causes the dissolved solids to precipitate. Filtering or conditioning or pre-preparing the regulated and defined wastewater or leachate solution is not necessary for aerial dissemination, commonly known as aerosolization and should not be associated with atomization or evaporation or misting processes or inventions. Aerosolization and Atomization are opposite scientific principles in their intent, purpose, use, equipment, measurement, testing and goals. Thus, in some cases, the regulated and defined wastewater or leachate solution includes both suspended solids and precipitants in their natural state and would be aerosolized in very high volumes and flow rates which is opposite from past atomization inventions. The basic approach for aerially disseminating or atmospherically converting or oxidatively diffusing or commonly known aerosolizing the regulated and defined wastewater or leachate solution is to directly pump the air-raw wastewater or air-raw leachate mixture from the outlet end of the conduit 14 such that the aqueous or water portion of the wastewater or leachate solution aerially disseminates or aerosolizes into the atmosphere. At the same time, the object is to permit the regulated and defined contaminating suspended or precipitated solids inherent in the wastewater or leachate solution to Oxidatively Diffuse (OD) out of the air-raw wastewater stream onto a regulated and defined and pre-selected unlined or lined area so as to be in compliance with existing federal, state and local laws, regulations and court opinions. As will be discussed later, in the case of aerially disseminating and atmospherically disposing of the water component of leachate from a RCRA defined landfill or all other regulated and defined wastewaters on the site of generation, it may be desirable to position the IMAS 12 such that inherent yet helpful solid minerals in the form of nitrogen, calcium or phosphorous compounds, for example, will aerially disseminate or aerosolize onto an area such that they may promote the growth of vegetation which is also regulated on these defined sites.
Turning to FIG. 2, shown therein is a particular application of the present invention. In this case, the IMAS 12 is utilized to aerially disseminate and atmospherically dispose of the water component of leachate produced by a RCRA regulated and defined site commonly known as a lined or unlined landfill indicated generally by the numeral 50. Before describing the process in more detail, it may be beneficial to briefly discuss the RCRA regulated and defined site commonly known as a lined or unlined landfill site 50. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the landfill site 50 includes an upper surface 50A. Disposed below the upper surface 50A is a depth of soil, waste, liner or in some cases unlined, legacy filtering systems, etc. (50B) that is continually mixed and turned during the course of the operation of the landfill if in operation or also contained in a closed site. Although the particular structure of a RCRA regulated and defined site or landfill can vary from location to location, in one embodiment there is provided a layer of gravel or sand 50C beneath the upper soil and waste layer and perhaps other legacy engineered linings or catch membranes. Below the layer of gravel can be a layer of rock 50D and below the layer rock is usually clay and is a retaining liner or other catch membranes but is not necessary in legacy sites before RCRA passage. The liner(s) or unlined but legacy engineered areas may stretch across the entire dimensions of the RCRA regulated and defined site or landfill and is basically utilized to attempt to retain and prevent regulated and defined leachate solutions from moving further downwardly into the underlying soil. A network of drainpipes 54 is typically, but no necessarily, employed just above a liner(s) system, if built after RCRA passage, and is utilized to collect the leachate solution and channel the leachate solution to a regulated, defined or permitted holding tank, catch basin or lagoon. Once in the regulated, defined and or permitted holding area, the leachate solution can be Aerially Disseminated (AD) or Oxidatively Diffused (OD) such that the water component is atmospherically discharged or disposed of continuously or periodically. In order to aerially disseminate and atmospherically discharge or dispose of the water component of any leachate solution, one or more pumps 24 are utilized to pump the defined leachate solution from the holding area under some pressure 26 to the IMAS 12. More particularly, the one or more pumps pump the defined leachate solution, in its natural unfiltered or unconditioned state, into the manifold 20 where Liquid Particle Dispersion (LPD) or Liquid Particle Conversion (LPC) or Liquid Particle Release (LPR) is initiated into the water component of the raw leachate solution about the outlet end of the conduit 14. Once in the manifold 20, the defined leachate solution under some pressure is forced out the circumferentially spaced nozzles 18 into the path of a system of air that is generated by the turbine to initiate Oxidative Diffusion (OD) or Oxidative Conversion (OC) or Oxidative Particle Release (OPR) all known methods or processes in the medical or military disciplines and commonly known as aerosolization 16 in the conduit 14. As noted above, as this system or stream of air exits the outward end of the conduit 14, the now aerosolized raw leachate mixes with the directed air to form the Oxidatively Diffused (OD) air-raw leachate solution mixture. The fluid and airflow pressure applied to the leachate upstream of the nozzles can vary widely depending on the type and consistency of the defined leachate or wastewater. In one example, the pressure is maintained between 20 psi and 160 psi. Further, the nozzles can be selected by a person of ordinary skill in the art to provide the degree of Aerial Dissemination (AD) or Oxidative Diffusion (OD) or aerosolization necessary or appropriate to optimize the efficiency of the IMAS and still remain in compliance with all federal, state and local laws as well as client directed constraints 12.
As seen in FIG. 2, in one embodiment the IMAS 12 is placed at the apex or center of the RCRA regulated site or landfill 50. From that point, the conduit 14 can be moved and manipulated over time to direct the air-raw leachate mixture over substantially the entire upper surface 50A of the RCRA regulated site or landfill area. As noted above, in one example the throw of the IMAS 12 may be as much as 200 meters and must be contained by existing legal and permitting constraints. Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 2, a substantial portion of the aerially disseminated or aerosolized leachate solution entering the stream of air will effectively be Atmospherically Discharged (AD) or aerosolized into the atmosphere above and around the RCRA regulated site or landfill 50. As much as 60-80 percent of the raw or unfiltered or unconditioned leachate solution can be Oxidatively Diffused (OD) and Atmospherically Discharged (AD) or commonly known as aerosolized into the atmosphere. As also noted above, the defined leachate solution will inherently include multiple regulated and defined contaminates to include suspended and possibly precipitated solids that will Oxidatively Diffuse (OD) out of the air stream within a shorter distance as defined by legal and permitting guidelines and vary by each regulated and defined and permitted site. For example, some suspended and precipitated contaminating solids could be expected to aerially disseminate in the area of 1 to 200 meters from the outlet end of the conduit 14. These suspended and precipitated contaminating solids can range from calcium and phosphorus compounds to other minerals, elements or compounds that might aid in the growth and proliferation of vegetation.
The airflow range of the IMAS 12 can widely vary. It can vary widely based on active controls or it might vary widely based on environmental conditions, regulations or individual client specifications. In one example, the speed of the turbine 16 can be varied so as to adjust the velocity of the air and the energy imparted to the air. That will effectively control or adjust the aerial dissemination distance from the outlet end of the conduit 14. In addition, the flow rate and pressure of the regulated and defined wastewater or leachate solution going to and within the IMAS can be varied also. This will vary the degree of aerial dissemination or atmospheric discharge or commonly known liquid aerosolization and, it is postulated, will vary the efficiency of the overall defined wastewater or leachate solution aerosolization process. As a general rule, the higher the pressure for a given nozzle, the greater the aerosolization of the leachate or wastewater and the greater the aerosolization efficiency and water vapor component atmospheric disposal. Also, as a general rule, the larger the particle size and higher the particle weight the larger the nozzle size and configuration.
As noted above, in one embodiment, the IMAS 12 is mounted on a mobile platform and can be moved from location to location about the RCRA regulated and defined site or landfill. This, again, enables the inherent suspended and perhaps precipitated contaminating solids contained in the leachate solution to be intentionally and uniformly aerially disseminated over the entire upper surface 50A of the landfill. In addition, it may be advisable under certain permitted or regulated conditions to position the IMAS 12 around the periphery of the RCRA regulated and defined site or landfill. That is, the mobile platform could be positioned at various points around the periphery of the landfill with the outward end of the conduit 14 aimed up a slope of the landfill. This may improve the retention of suspended and precipitated solids on the upper surface 50A of the landfill and, depending on the composition and amount of liquid that actually Oxidatively Diffused (OD) out of the air-leachate mixture, this can minimize “washing” and the formation of small gullies that run down the sides of the RCRA regulated site or landfill.
Turning to FIG. 3, there is shown an example of utilizing the IMAS 10 of the present invention to aerially disseminate and atmospherically dispose of the water component of any regulated, defined multi-component and detectable wastewater on the site of its creation. In this case, the regulated and defined wastewater is contained within a lined or unlined catch basin or lagoon 60. The IMAS 12 is positioned adjacent to an edge of the lined or unlined catch basin or lagoon 60. The defined multi-detectable component wastewater in the catch basin or lagoon is pumped by one or more pumps 24 to the IMAS 12 and more particularly to the manifold 20 and the nozzles 18 supported thereon. The raw wastewater, having many components, under some pressure, is forced out the nozzles 18 and directed inwardly towards the passing air stream generated by the turbine 16. This forms the aerial dissemination or Oxidative Liquid Conversion (OLC) within the air-raw wastewater mixture.
The outlet end of the conduit 14 is aimed over the lined or unlined catch basin or lagoon. Thus, the Aerially Disseminated (AD) or Oxidatively Converted (OC) or common vernacular aerosolized wastewater in the air-raw wastewater mixture tends to be further Oxidatively Diffused (OD) as it moves with the air stream outwardly over the regulated and defined lined or unlined catch basin or lagoon. This enables a substantial portion of the water component of the regulated and defined wastewater, in some cases as much as 60-80%, to be Atmospherically Discharged (AD) into the atmosphere also commonly known as a conversion into a “Stage 1 Aerosol” over the lined or unlined catch basin or lagoon 60 or any other regulated, defined or permitted pre-selected area. At the same time, the regulated and defined wastewater will inherently include suspended and perhaps precipitated contaminating solids. These solids tend to quickly Aerially Disseminate (AD) or Oxidatively Diffuse (OD) or aerosolize out of the air-raw wastewater mixture over the lined or unlined but regulated and defined catch basin or lagoon. Thus, the inherent suspended and possibly precipitated contaminating solids quickly undergo Aerial Release (AR) of the water component of the wastewater while Oxidatively Diffusing (OD) the regulated and defined contaminants into the regulated and defined or permitted lined or unlined catch basin or lagoon and eventually can be further aerially disseminated or otherwise atmospherically disposed of by other regulated and defined and legally prescribed site appropriate means.
From the foregoing specification and discussion, it is seen that the process or method of the present invention is a; safe, effective, efficient and extremely economical way of aerially disseminating and atmospherically disposing of the water component to all regulated and defined leachates and wastewaters on the site where they are generated. The invention is effective and efficient because substantial portions of the aqueous or liquid portions of the regulated and defined wastewater are effectively Aerially Disseminated (AD) or Oxidatively Diffused (OD) or commonly known as aerosolized into the atmosphere. Still, the method or process of the present invention effectively deals with suspended solids and particularly precipitated contaminating chemical and biological solid contaminants because their disposition in the Oxidative Diffusion (OD) can be controlled and where regulated and defined and permitted site appropriate policies can be utilized in constructive and helpful ways such as in the case of RCRA regulated and defined leachate solutions on landfills or all other regulated or defined wastewaters where valuable minerals, elements or compounds are utilized as an effective fertilizer to promote the growth of onsite vegetation, which is also regulated and legally defined for each site.
The present invention may, of course, be carried out in other ways than those specifically set forth herein without departing from essential characteristics of the invention. The present embodiments are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all changes coming within the meaning and equivalency range of the appended claims are intended to be embraced therein.
